People living in Victoria's north and north-west have been urged to leave their homes as soon as possible as the region faces the worst fire conditions in 10 years.
“If you live in those areas and a fire occurs, a fire will take your home. You need to make sure you are not there. Code Red says to us that we cannot control a fire if it starts. Move out tonight.”It is the first time a Code Red has been declared in Victoria since 2010. A total fire ban across the state has also been declared.
The decision to declare a Code Red is in response to predictions of soaring temperatures and strong winds.

ScottMorrisonMP is at the cricket
I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but every time there is a catastrophic warning - weather wise - especially from BOM - it doesn’t really come to pass. I do hope though tomorrow comes and goes without any fires ...
What a fucking joke
CodeRed. The new normal now is any hot summer day,terrify everybody with Doomsday Bushfires warning,this will happen on every day above 35C , ie It’s Summer!My tip no major fires in Vic Tommorow!
I live in Mildura. No one has urged us to leave. The majority of Forest is along the Murray River. The rest is your food. Grapes, citrus, nuts and olives. Embers May be an issue. The rest of Mildura is suburban, not unlike Epping or Wollert in Melbourne. 2 streets back is
That’s a whole lot of people on the move. Wishing you all the safest travels.
Hopefully they now where the loonie arsonists are!
Local and country fire people seem to have it all under control, and more importantly by the looks of it this fire chief has not booked for a hair appointment tommorrow.........
